♥♥♥ Explore May 21, 2019 ♥♥♥

[ENG] The town of Belchite (Zaragoza, Spain) is known for the tragic episodes that took place during the Civil War (1936-1939). On August 24, 1937 the republican offensive that triggered the Battle of Belchite began on this city in which several thousand nationalists were concentrated. Little concern the strategic objectives and the details of the fierce struggle in which aviation and the XV International Brigade (formed by Canadians, Americans and British) intervened and who fought house by house until September 6. A few months later there was a second war episode in the Batalla de Aragón, in which the advance of the revolted army, with the Italian and Moroccan corps in front, on March 9 to 11 took Belchite and other nearby municipalities. It is estimated that there were more than five thousand deaths between civilians and soldiers of both sides. At the end of the war, with the town practically destroyed, the inhabitants were gradually abandoned to move to Belchite Nuevo. More photographs in the album Belchite, a story not to forget

[ESP] El Arco de la Villa, recientemente restaurado, posiblemente fue la entrada principal de la población, dando acceso a la calle Mayor que recorría longitudinalmente el casco urbano. Es de estilo barroco-mudéjar, construido con ladrillo formando frontones curvos y grandes óculos barrocos. La puerta se enmarca en arcos de medio punto y en el primer piso se sitúa una capilla dedicada a la Virgen que se cubre con una cúpula sostenida por pechinas que originalmente estaban decoradas con pinturas, y sobre esta se erige un lucernario. Tiene dos fachadas, y la que da al interior contiene un balcón y se decora con altorrelieves.

Poco importan los objetivos estratégicos y los detalles de la encarnizada lucha en la que intervino la aviación y la XV Brigada internacional (formada por canadienses, americanos y británicos) y que se libró casa por casa hasta el 6 de septiembre. Unos meses después se vivió un segundo episodio bélico en la Batalla de Aragón, en la que el avance del ejército franquista, con los cuerpos italianos y marroquís al frente, en los días 9 a 11 de marzo tomaron Belchite y otros municipios cercanos. Se calcula que hubo más de cinco mil muertos entre civiles y militares de ambos bandos. A finalizar la guerra, con el pueblo prácticamente destrozado, los habitantes fueron abandonado paulatinamente para trasladarse a Belchite Nuevo.
